This is done using COPY syntax, not INSERT syntax. So I suppose "yes" I do. The file that is being used for COPY is kept on a ramdisk.
COPY or psql \copy ?
If you wanna be sure you commit after each COPY, launch a psql in a shell and check if the inserted rows are visible (watching SELECT count(*) grow will do)
